摘要
CO2 breakthrough pressure plays an important role in CO2 geological storage capacity, selecting target storage sites and assessing the safety of caprock. In order to explore the numerical simulation method that can be used to predict the CO2 breakthrough pressure, a numerical method based on step-by-step method was proposed by using the numerical software of COMSOL Multiphysics, and the numerical simulation of CO2 breakthrough pressure in a saturated low-permeability rock core were carried out. The results show that when the rock core is completely saturated with water, the breakthrough pressure and breakthrough time of CO2 were 5.4 MPa and 70 h, respectively. Compared with the experimental results, it is proved that the numerical simulation is reasonable. Meanwhile, sensitivity studies on the interfacial tension in CO2-H2O systems and the key parameters of m/l values in van Genuchten (VG) model are carried out. The results show that, under the same interfacial tension, the greater the m/l parameters, the greater the CO2 breakthrough pressure and time. In addition, with the increase of interfacial tension in CO2-H2O systems, the breakthrough pressure and time both tend to decrease. This study provides numerical information for further studies on CO2 breakthrough in rock core and the evaluation of caprock. © 2021 Chin. Soc. for Elec. Eng.
